The New Ecumenism: Rebuilding the Spiritual Babel.

If you never heard about the tower of babel, you can find the story in Genesis 11:1-9. The purpose in building the tower was to be one inseparable people and reach to the heavens, where God is. The first problem was that they were disobeying God's commandment given to Adam and Eve: Genesis 1:27-28. God's purpose for mankind wasn't just to fill the Garden of Eden, but the whole earth. The other problem was that no human being can reach God, that's the reason Jesus Christ, the Son of God became man in order to reach mankind. The word babel means "gate of god", it is also the hebrew name for Babylon. At that time, people believed that heavens were not far from the earth and they probably thought they could reach the place were God was, and hopefully becoming gods themselves. The idea of becoming god was not original, lucifer was the first one to try it, then Adam, then the babel builders, then Herod the king: Acts 12:21-23, etc. I think that the "new world religion" that is coming soon, where the high priest will be the false prophet, will be the new ecumenism. Why? Think about this: Do you really think that you can convince muslims, christians, buddhists, spiritists, etc, to abandon their religion and costumes and follow your own? I bet you don't. But what if this false prophet comes with a way to unite all religions, telling them that they have something in common, "god", it doesn't matter what his name is or how it (god) manifests himself, what matters is that their "gods" can coexist, their religions can intermix, their faith can be expanded to insert new beliefs, etc. The word ecumenism comes from a family of classical greek words: oikos, meaning a "house", "family", "people", or "nation"; oikoumenē, "the whole inhabited world"; and oikoumenikos, "open to or participating in the whole world". Again, as my writing is personal, i think (God knows for sure) that the false prophet will find a way to unite all religions, of course the only ones who won't participate of this new ecumenism, will be the ones who won't receive the mark of the beast, as described in Revelation 13:18. So, are you prepared to overcome the beast? Revelation 12:11.
